Last-minute call for the 7th edition of Raw Materials week

Raw Material Week 2022

Past years and the present situation have highlighted European vulnerability related to the supply chains of raw materials. Identification and lifting of legislative bottlenecks, and improving the European cooperation between mining and metallurgy regions, can be part of the answer to the problem. The periodic event such as Raw Materials Week is a big opportunity for these challenges.

This year the 7th edition of the Raw Materials Week will take place from 14 to 18 November 2022 in Brussels (stationary form), as well as an online meeting.

Aims of Raw Materials Week 2022

The organizers of the 7th edition of Raw Materials Week (RMW) provide in their official social channels that this year’s event will focus on the ninth annual High-level Conference of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on raw materials.
